Above is an aerial photograph of the 370 acre Woodsom Farm Park field. Our launch site is located at the end of the dirt road in the top center of the picture. The launch is scheduled for Sunday October 25, 2009 with no rain date.
The entrance to the field is at 212 Lion's Mouth Road. Look for the lion statue and turn in to the driveway. Drive slowly past the soccer field parking lot and drive up the dirt road to the launch site. Keep your speed down to about 10 mph to avoid raising dust clouds and road damage. We can not park on the field this year so you will drop off your equipment at the launch site and drive back to the soccer field parking lot and park. A shuttle van will bring you back to the launch area. This unfortunately is a part of our use permit from the city of Amesbury. The field is not open to the public and is reserved by the club for specific dates for our launches. Launching at other times by other people, club members or not, is not authorized.
If the weather looks questionable, call the CMASS Launch Line at 1-781-231-1018 before heading out to the field after 8:00 AM on the morning of the launch for the launch status.
